Walton stressed that he has never even spoken to [freakshow Britney] Spears, who has attended several Lakers games this season.

"The rumors aren't true," Walton said. "I'm sure Britney is a great person, but I don't even know her. I have a girlfriend. I'm very happy with my relationship.

Has his famous father, Bill, called to ask about the rumors?

"No," Walton said, "my dad probably thinks it's true."
